Abstract
Capsule: Habitat selection of Dartford Warbler Sylvia undata on Elba Island (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) was analysed, considering 1-ha square plots (104 occupied and 104 unoccupied). Dartford Warbler occurrence was positively associated with garrigues, maquis and meadows, whilst the urban areas have a negative effect. The most used vegetation types were the garrigues with Cistus and degraded tall maquis with Erica arborea, Arbutus unedo and Cistus monspeliensis. © 2014 British Trust for Ornithology.
